Fudgey and decadent, this is my (extremely) easy flourless chocolate cake made using almond flour.

No beating egg whites I find it works better to use a touch of baking powder instead.

And the added bonus is that its ridiculously fast to make!

Thats a double win in my books!

Even if it held up while cooling, with the first cut, it would definitely collapse.

OR use the decorations to hide the crater.

You get my drift.

I like flourless chocolate cake and one of my best friends is gluten free.

The crater surface annoyed me.

So I fixed it.

It took a few goes to get it right.

I was interested to find that almond flour / almond meal is highly sensitive to baking powder.

The lift this gave the cake while baking was astonishing it almost overflowed.

Then when I took it out of the oven, it collapsed.

And was amazed that it worked perfectly.

It is really hard to capture the texture of this cake in photos.

Its fudgey, but not dense fudgey like brownies.

Its got more of a cake-like texture, but it is much fudgier than normal cakes.

Fudgier than myChocolate Fudge Cake.

It looks like its going to crumble but it doesnt because its so moist.

Its intensely chocolatey with beautiful almond undertones, and the surface has a fine crackly layer like brownies.

Its really, really good.

Its not just easier.

I truly think this is better.

And…you know…..NO CRATER SURFACE!!!!

Ive also finally shared myWhole Orange Cake, which is also flourless and childs play to make!

Its the cake I made at a wedding Ive spoken about previously which was held on a remote river.

I made a tiered wedding cake from scratch without an oven.

Curious…???
